Tendons arent made to stretch.Their purpose is to connect the muscle to the bone.If stretched,the tendon might tear.Same goes for ligaments.You stretch your muscles!

This is because it has the most elastic tissue, and because ligaments and tendons (since they have less elastic tissue) are not intended to stretched very much at all. Overstretching them may weaken the joint's integrity and cause destabilization (which increases the risk of injury).

If tendons stretch our muscles could tear

∙ 9y agotendons are not designed to stretch, they are designed to attach muscles to bones. if they did stretch muscle contractions would not be as effective.

∙ 9y agoTendons are structures that connect muscle to bone. They are designed to withstand tension. Stretching would be counterproductive as the muscle would likely move too much.

∙ 9y agoTendons need to be stretchy and elastic. This is because the muscles can induce a large strain on the tendons, so the elasticity provides strength and prevents injuries.

It is good that tendons do not stretch because if they could so they would tear.

What can the tendons in the body do?

How can tendons pull bone?
on one end of a tendon comes from the muscles while the other hand is attached to a bone,then it pulls
What are antagonistic?
they are pairs of muscle that work together alternating. they need each other because no muscle can stretch a so the other mucle contracts.
What do tendons hold muscle to?

How does a contracture occur in a muscle?
A contracture can occur for many reasons some of them are, when the muscle and its tendons get shorter. That's why it's always good to stretch out so that one does not get numb.
Tough outer covering of a bone?
Striatrd are the muscles are attached to bones by tendons. Tendons are thick bands that pull on the bone as the muscle contracts and these muscles are voluntary.
How do tendons relate to movement?

When you perform flexion on your arm the biceps muscle contracts What happens to the triceps muscle on the posterior of the arm as you do this action?
The Triceps extend (Stretch out) as the biceps contract.
What connects muscle to muscle?
Tendons connect muscle to muscle and also muscle to bone.
Sensory receptors found in muscle and tendons that detect their degree of stretch?
the muscle spindle detects it, and causes reflexes that automatically make slight alterations to muscle tentions, so that you stand up right.
